Convert Milligram per Cubic Centimeter to Specific Gravity
Type the number of milligrams per cubic centimeter that you wish to convert to specific gravity.
How to Convert Milligrams per Cubic Centimeter to Specific Gravity
The milligram per cubic centimeter and specific gravity are both units of density. By definition, 1 specific gravity equals exactly 1000 milligrams per cubic centimeter. This means to convert milligrams per cubic centimeter to specific gravity, you divide by 1000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 mg/cm³ to specific gravity:
We need to convert milligrams per cubic centimeter to specific gravity
Since 1 SG = 1000 mg/cm³, divide by 1000
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
5 mg/cm³ = 0.005 SG

About These Units
Milligram per Cubic Centimeter (mg/cm³)
Milligrams per cubic centimeter (mg/cm³) equals g/L and kg/m³. Used in materials science, bone density measurements (healthy bone: 1,000-1,200 mg/cm³), and pharmaceutical research. CT scans report tissue density in mg/cm³.
Specific Gravity (SG)
Specific gravity (SG) is the dimensionless ratio of a substance's density to water at 4°C. Water = 1.0 by definition. Gasoline: 0.72-0.78. Honey: 1.4. Mercury: 13.6. Gold: 19.3. Also called relative density. Objects with SG < 1 float in water.
